Korg and Gorillaz Team Up for iPad Beat Box

Korg announced a new iPad app produced with the virtual band Gorillaz.

Korg announced a new iPad app produced with the virtual band Gorillaz. The group's latest album, The Fall, was recorded entirely on an iPad, after all. One of the apps they used was Korg's iElectribe, so to commemorate the album's release Korg and Gorillaz have teamed up to offer a special iElectribe Gorillaz Edition. A limited run of 10,000 copies will be sold at $9.99. After that the price might go up.

The iElectribe is a virtual analog beatbox for the iPad. Sound creation is fun and intuitive, just like on a vintage analog synth. Users simply choose an instrument part and touch the 16-step sequencer to build a groove. This edition has been customized to generate samples from The Fall; it includes 128 new sounds created by Gorillaz and 64 unique pre-programmed patterns. Back to top
